I am not 100% about the V90, but it seems to be at the same place as where it is in the XC90.
On p.556 of the online manual:
https://az685612.vo.msecnd.net/pdfs/...GB_TP27165.pdf,
the first picture shows the storage locations in the front for a car with the steering wheel at left.
This is a bit strange since it the owners manual found on the UK website.
The arrow pointing to the lower left of the steering wheel shows where the (sun)glasses holder
is in the XC90. If there is indeed one in the UK V90, it should be at the lower right of the steering
wheel if it's location is mirrored in a car with the steering wheel at the right() side.

Ah that cubby? Yes I have one of those.

I was thinking of something like the flip down thing I've seen on an old Mondeo up by the courtesy light in the roof console. I'm sure Passat's or Superb's have one up there too specifically for glasses.

Got me wondering, so just been to have a look. Yes there is a small storage bin with a soft lining. to the right of the steering column just below the tailgate release button and the dash light dimmer.

It's a hidden feature

[Quonker]

Actually in hindsight one of the worst features is the lack of a proper tyre pressure reading, my S90 has regularly flagged an amber warning on my near side rear tyre when it’s a few psi lower than it should be.

So disconcerting not knowing what the actual pressure is and whether or not this needs urgent attention.

Not what you expect in a £65K vehicle.

I agree.

Like. PA2, auto dipping headlights

Disllike. No dipstick, no oil pressure and temp gauges and worst of all those **** rear indicators and reversing light.

What is the issue with the rear indicators / reverse lights?

[MaDProFF]

The reversing light is a waste of space, there should be 2 and 20 times brighter, then you might see what is behind you with the 360 camera in the dark.
